UNSPSC 50396002: Organic granada pommegranate purees

The variety of organic pommegranates known as organic granada pommegranates which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50396002 Organic granada pomegranate purees (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are overwhelmingly miscoded: they solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-based food service commodities—none of which are organic pomegranate purees or specialty purees of any kind. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC, Illinois CPO), school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District), and municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), indicating broad-based child nutrition and institutional food service demand. The code shows activity in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, among others, but the scope mismatch is decisive: solicitations under this code are not actually seeking pomegranate purees or organic specialty purees at all.

The recent opportunities represent standard institutional food service procurement—particularly school nutrition programs and corrections facilities—driven by federal school lunch requirements (Buy American provisions, nutritional standards, HACCP compliance) and state purchasing protocols. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million). Evaluate whether pursuit aligns with your firm's core capabilities in institutional food distribution rather than specialty organic produce manufacturing, as the code taxonomy does not reflect the actual commodity being bought.
